Las tierras flacas se aproxima, tematicamente, a la anecdota que Yanez cuenta en Al filo del agua: la vida campesina sustituye a la vida municipal; la magia ocupa el sitio del fanatismo; la frustracion vital de los personajes es del mismo tamano. Historicamente la revolucion ha derrotado al porfirismoComo en casi todas sus obras, la atmosfera realza la anecdota y permite a las criaturas desarrollarse integramente. Yanez es el novelista de los pueblos de atmosfera enrarecida y de los ranchos que, de tan pequenos, carecen casi por completo de horizonte humano. En Las tierras flacas el autor reencuentra su campo vital, entra de nuevo en contacto con las criaturas que ama y comprende.

This tale of a repressive priest and his small Mexican village during the eighteen months preceding the Revolution of 1910 is a great novel, one that exposes the struggle between human desire and paralyzing fear—fear of humanity, fear of nature, fear of the wrath of God. Agustín Yáñez probes the actions of people caught in life’s currents, enthralling his readers with mounting dramatic tension as he shows that no power can forge saints from the human masses, that any attempt to do so, in fact, often has exactly the opposite result.Yáñez brings to his work a deep understanding of people—his people—and he illuminates a great truth—that no one, anywhere, seems very strange when we understand the environment that has produced him or her.

Have our heroes finally met their match? It's the Tiger of Malaysia versus the Tiger of India in a fight to the death!

La literatura narrativa ocupa un lugar importante en la obra de Agustin Yanez. La vida de la provincia y su propia vida han ido dando la materia con que se tejen sus novelas. A fuerza de mirarse a si mismo y de contemplar el medio en que nacio y crecio adquirieron en su imaginacion perfil y relieve personajes y sucesos, libros y juegos, consejos y entretenimientos, amistades y lecturas, esperanzas y deseos. Y ya modelado por la imaginacion, todo este variado repertorio fue pasando facilmente a la pagina escrita.

Con La tierra pródiga, Agustín Yáñez enriquece el ciclo de novelas que ha inspirado su propósito de componer un retrato de México. El tema es ahora la vida en algunas regiones de la costa y la lucha por el dominio de esas tierras. En sus páginas triunfa la violencia, captada en el molde de una prosa que se significa tanto por su energía plástica como por el uso del habla popular.
